I am sure that the warrior Cotto will jump at the opportunity to rematch Manny in November, but I don't like his chances in a rematch that will essentially kill him off as a PPV attraction.
it seems as is Floyd cannot fight right now for personal reasons and that is his prerogative.....if I was Cotto, I'd respectfully pass on Pacquiao and look at another good name that is beatable for a Fall fight which will help bring him back to the marketability level he was last year.
i don't think Floyd comes back until Roger is cool AND there is a choice of who he can fight: Cotto or Pac. early next year negotations for whoever Floyd wants to fight will begin, and i think Cotto should play this out. either way, a fight with Pac or Floyd AFTER one more good win will actually make sense.
Best move for Cotto right now:
Let Manny face Margo, while Cotto faces a tomato can.
Rematch Margo (who should be shot to hell).
Let Manny fight May.
Hope May wins, then rematch Pac.
Retire or score superfight with May.
This fight is an easy prediction:
If Floyd can hurt Cotto, Floyd wins, and in humiliating fashion.
If Cotto doesnt feel Floyds power, not even his defense will prevent Floyd from getting destroyed just like any other featherfisted boxer Cotto has faced.
If I was Cotto I would take the Drug tests and fight Floyd too. Lets face it Cotto has about 3-4 good fights in him and Floyd should be one. Cotto is a warrior and honestly deserves that huge payday. For me, Win or Lose does not really matter, Cotto has fought many if not all the top fighters at welter, why not Floyd?
Make it happen.
